WAIT A MINUTE, BARR! YOU CAN’T SAY THOSE THINGS! You know, if some major TV star wishes to blame her racial slur on Ambien, then it only makes the case against her stronger. Love the comment from the drug maker Sanofi, who took to social media to say that “while all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side...

Are you kiddin’ me? A doggy race? Mya’s mama sent this link to the cutest Corgies on earth, and I sort of had my bet on the one holding back, dressed in yellow, but he/she had a tussle with another contestant and I picked the wrong winner. The winner looked to me like a calico kitty so I’m glad he or she won. They didn’t mention...

Well, they are here again without the stitch. And I must tell you how adorable I was, lying up on the bed while they took a short rest from the 5 1/2 hour drive, putting out my little paw to touch them and then squirming around all over the duvet trying to get attention and scratches behind the ears. I was irresistible, that’s all there was...

A teacher friend of mama’s once said that assumption is the mother of mess up. How true. Mama went to the doc thinking she would have her head fixed and instead only got it examined. Why on earth would she assume that a surgeon is going to snip around on your head without discussion and explanation of the...

Actually, I am the one being visited by my FANTASTIC, KIND, GENEROUS WITH SNUGGLES, ATTENTIVE, TREAT-BEARING Kitty Whisperer, and we know who THAT is and who is NOT here, right? Just sayin’…I needed this time to kick back and be hostess to my sweet visitor, who will...

Well, I know this is very hard to read, but it’s just a reminder that June 1-3, the wearing of orange will place you in the millions of those who wish gun violence to stop. Mama won’t have any trouble as she wears orange all the time, but I’ll have to improvise. I wish I had another orange type color, maybe a bit more red in it. ...

My favourite sun-worship chair Well, no worries, mates, but mama has to have a little thingy taken off her forehead next Monday and she’ll probably be in stitches over the experience, HAHA. Uh, oh, she’s giving me looks. All kidding aside, it’s a thing that must come off and best to do it now before the summer begins, but she will be...

You might think I have a bad habit, you know, trimming my nails this way, but actually, this is called “cleanliness is next to godliness” in my book. And I think our patty paws’ tips are referred to as CLAWS, not as in Santa. Still, I am meticulous about keeping my paws in perfect condition and even asked mama if I could borrow some of...

Now is this silly, or what? Mama was pinching off all the dying blossoms from her rose bushes and she just couldn’t resist covering me with petals! You’d think I was a bride or something, whatever that is. Maybe because it was the day of the BIG WEDDING, whatever THAT was! But I hear it was pretty spectacular, and how amazing of that Meghan...

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, LAH LAH LAAAAAAAH! (Barber of Seville, I think) Well, mama fell in love with this lovely song she heard in her exercise class, and she asked me to share it with you so that you could get teary, too, haha. Mama is a sucker for voices like these – she and papa would always cry over Pavarotti’s THREE high Cs in...

Some tasty snapshots of garden surprises Well, mama has been observing the little corners of the garden where surprises turn up so I thought I’d check them out and put in a few photos of same. Probably places I have “been”, haha, since they are growing so well. But first, papa’s art shot of Spring Cleaning The Garden Chairs and...

Well, this is a window in our little ville from which three kitties look out upon the world every day, safe behind their lovely see-through screen. Saying hello. Because the streets are so narrow here, they can’t have one of those amazing products from Cat Solarium, but this works awfully well for them. Mama passes by sometimes with food for the...

A day of grief for the students, teachers and families in Santa Fe, Texas. Our ailing country–its schools, its laws, its foreign policies, its inattention to its children and seniors, its lack of leadership, its continuation and enhancement of suspicion and wariness from the rest of the world–needs very strong medicine. Who will stand up and...

THAT BAD BIRDIE WAS IN MY FOUNTAIN AGAIN! And look what he left behind! No couth, that one. Well, I don’t know what all this Friday business is about (maybe “to growl is feline“) but mama was LATE helping me do my blog so as I growl, I hope this finally reaches you, wherever that may be. She spent all afternoon, well, from five on,...

YAY, mama found the funny video that papa’s ex sent to her!!! It is in Italian and very understandable but funnier if you know what the man is saying: What is going on here? I can’t leave you two for a minute without a mess being made. Who did this? Tell me who did this. RIGHT NOW! Mama laughed herself right off the office chair! Hope this...

WHA…WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT HOWLING? Er…singing? Well, as she often does, Mya’s mama sent this really wonderful video of a musical doggy and we wanted to share it. Hey, laughter is the best medicine, right? Not that we need medicine but laughter, we need daily. I tried to harmonize with this mutt, but he wouldn’t have any of it....

Well, that nice Mary McNeil sent mama a link to some pretty wonderful kitties around the world and mama wanted to pass it on. That big fellow in Barcelona is really BIG, mama says. But I loved the one hanging from a ledge and also the one on the steps–he’s a trip, haha. Thank you, Mary, for great...

Well, mama fell off her chair when papa’s ex-wife (whom mama loves like a sister) sent mama a video that is priceless! Not that I would do anything like that bad kitty in the video, but… I think this is mostly today’s blog while mama gets her act back together. I’m pretty sure she’ll be up and rolling tomorrow, but for a...

Mama looks like THIS. Minus the tail, of course. Well, I hope you understand but mama and papa came home from taking down the show and sacked out (like me) just before dinner, when mama finally made it to the kitchen to do our Sunday night pizza, but I can see from her droopy eyes that she may not even make it through the Roma/Juventus soccer match! Oh,...

You know, guarding papa’s jeans while he is helping mama at the expo is wearing me OUT. Well, tomorrow is finally the last day of the expo and mama is ready to take down everything and start on new canvasses. And I’m ready to have her home a bit more, as she is gone almost all day. Lots of people came through but…let’s be blunt:...
